Abstract :
Characteristics of coplanar transmission lines on multilayer substrates expressed in analytic formulas have been obtained using conformal mapping. The accuracy of these formulas has been verified experimentally on a variety of coplanar transmission lines using differential electro-optic (DEOS) sampling. For coplanar waveguides, the theory differs from the experiment by less than 3%; for coplanar striplines, the differences are less than 6%
